Can anybody tell me if this clasp is original or not?
Will post pictures when I figure out how to.

I can't figure out how to post pictures so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do I have to be an association member? If so I will not be able to activate the account for about 48 hours after being admitted. I haven't joined yet as I am confused as to what the Choose Website Username (No Spaces) part and the Choose Users Password means. Is it the user name (Mike R) and my password again? Any further help is greatly appreciated! Thank you Bruce!

Hi Mike,

The website user name is the name you can see on this forum when ever somebody posts a reply or starts a thread. You can choose on yourself as long as nobody is already using the name.

For user password you also can use any word you want. It's just your signature to access your account and it won't be visible to anybody else.

Hope this helps
Philippe

no no no

give yourself a user name and select a password for the ASSOCIATION website, not the forum. You already have one for the forum, or you wouldnt be able to post messages.

The login names for the association website have NOTHING to do with the forum. This is a common misconception. The association site is its own entity, with seperate protocols for security.

If you have further problems, please PM me, and I will be glad to assist.

Gold Combat Clasp

Hello everyone,
Can anybody tell me if the clasp above is an original or if it is a high quality repro?
Thanks!

[Matteo]

bad one

Hi Mike,

unfortunately your impression is correct, it is a high quality repro
Take a look at this picture, especially at the particulars marked with red circles, are matching with those on your clasp.

Cheers,
Matteo

Thanks guys for the help! This forum has been a time and money saver, but does anyone know about a fake Memel and Hitler youth Sport badge being produced?
Thanks!

Mike, before you throw your selve in the collectors madnes world....be aware that almost everything you will put a finger on has a copy brother, and you may be lucky if it is not a copy itself.

P.S. For the rest you will have a lot of fun....
